The Pope Wears Prada: Fashion and Christianity
הרצאה בעברית
The surprising story of the connection between haute couture, religion, and ritual: from the Pope through Prada to Gaultier: a journey through the plains of tradition and its encounter with fashion, designers, and style.
About:
Fashion and Catholicism, wealth and grandeur, diamonds and embroideries –– what could all this have to do with Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, and Rihanna? And how have contemporary fashion designers drawn from traditional Jewish dress?
Taking inspiration from the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s 2018 exhibition “Heavenly Bodies,”–– the most popular in the museum’s history –– this lecture explores the intersection between contemporary fashion and the worlds of faith and religious ritual.
